Top Reasons to Prepay After Preplanning Body Disposition

Michael Bernardo • December 7, 2020

It’s a given that preplanning a funeral or a cremation with a funeral home in Rifle, CO is always a good idea. For one thing, doing so means that those you love most won’t be required to plan your final services arrangements at a time when they’ll be coming to terms with your passing. But should you also prepay for the final services package? There are reasons why you should.

It Makes Sense

If your goal is to preplan, then it makes sense to prepay as well. People who preplan want to get the body disposition package they prefer, they want to take responsibility for arranging their final services so that others don’t have to get involved on that front, and they want to allow their family to mourn in peace without having to go to a funeral home to plan final services. So if you decide to take this course of action, then it makes sense to take the next logical step. And the next logical step is to prepay for the final services so that everything is in place. When the time comes for the final services package to be utilized, your family won’t have to plan or pay. They’ll just have to focus on grieving, comforting one another, and gathering to honor your memory.

Spare Family the Financial Burden

Do you intend to preplan so that you can spare your family from planning for you after you die? If that’s your line of thinking, then you won’t want to leave your loved ones to have to pay for it. You can preplan and prepay so that your loved ones won’t need to worry about doing so. They’ll get to honor your memory at whatever final services package you arranged. You can imagine how grateful they’ll be, and this will be all the more the case if money is tight.

Save Money

Did you know that prepaying for final services means that you’ll get a better deal? It’s true. If you preplan and prepay today, you will spend less than if your loved ones plan and pay in the future. You likely don’t have to be reminded that the prices for just about everything go up over time. But if you preplan and prepay today, the price you prepay will be honored. When the time comes for your final services, your family won’t have to pay any more than you agreed to. So prepaying is a fiscally responsible thing to do – particularly if you make the decision to preplan.
